Sounds sensible to me. I don't see how this causes irreparable harm to the notion of 'realism' or gives the player some untoward advantage.
As you say, the CE would have a general idea in this regard, so perhaps the best solution would be to randomize the display (within a certain percentage) to simulate 'actual' conditions.
